Mystery Respiratory Illness in Children May Be Coming From Illegals

[PreachersWife2004]

I wouldn't be surprised if the parents of these kids falling ill from "dem durn illegals" are the same parents who staunchly oppose vaccination.

This isn't a vaccine issue. This isn't something you can vaccinate against.

Yeah. Isn't it.

I'd have to see the numbers of children going where before I could say it interesting. Since I know a good number of these children did get shipped north and east, this map doesn't actually surprise me.

Then again, forget it, because I don't even believe it's coming from the children.

Then again, forget it, because I don't even believe it's coming from the children.

But one doctor on one TV show speculated that it might be so. Do you find that less than conclusive?

The southern border has been a catch all boogie man for the fear mongers.

"Al Qaeda will come across the border with the illegals!"

"Ebola will come across the border with the illegals!"

"ISIL will come across the border with the illegals!"

and now

"Mystery disease came across the border with the illegals!"

Yes...and there seems to be plenty of people who want to believe the fear mongering.

I wish I could find the source, but I read somewhere that to properly have the border as secure as some people want it.. it would cost the united states $28 billion annually to maintain it. Question we should be asking is the influx of them costing us more than $28 billion annually? It is all a matter of math and the cheapest price wins the argument for the federal government.

Seriously grow up, just because you disagree with someone's analysis of facts, doesn't mean you should imply that they are racist.

Customs and Border Patrol has been shipping illegal immigrants to facilities all over the country and reportedly are even looking at using an abandoned Walmart in New York, according to Congressman Chris Collins (R-NY). --

​

Fact of the matter is that the Obama Administration has been shipping Illegal Immigrants throughout the country, so it is unsurprising that we'd be seeing these diseases show up in the Midwest, in New York, etc.

Then we have the Obama administration threatening Border Patrol Agents with Criminal Charges for speaking to Reporters:

People from third world countries that have horrible medical care bringing in diseases shouldn't be a surprise or news. Just reality. What is your solution? Ship them back home and not provide them medical care?

My solution would be that they get proper medical care, then send them back home (if possible).

I certainly wouldn't ship them all over the US without any medical screenings and then dump them in the public school systems when they could have diseases like TB (which is incurable).

 

[Veritas]

Left wing? right wing? Oh yeah I keep forgetting I'm in the politics section. I was just saying the kids might be getting sick because of lack of vaccinations against whatever the kids are bringing in. Disease doesn't care what part of the political spectrum you are.

These kids are bringing in diseases that don't have vaccines. That said, some think we need vaccines for colds, headaches, pulled muscles. Crazy.

Government source says refuses to say it is not possible that this could be due to illegal aliens.

Truthers have a field day.

If this came from illegals from South America it is interesting that it skipped the entire Southwest and only popped up in the Midwest, far closer to Canada.

Damn renegade Canucks

The problem (and this has already been in the media) the Obama admin won't reveal where they've shipped these kids off to. They are spreading them throughout the US. Why all the secrecy?

1) These children aren't even "illegals." They are refugees seeking asylum and as non-Mexican minors entitled to a judicial process under US law.

According to Mother Jones? No, the kids coming from Central and South America were sent here as anchors for the parents back home who want to immigrate and need a legal reason. Many of these children are angry and upset that they are homeless and virtual orphans.

2) This virus was in the US before these refugee children arrived.

We're talking about a strain that is rare in the US. Why has it all of the sudden taken off?

3) This virus is being passed around US classrooms-- where these immigrant children aren't attending in any kind of numbers.

Source?

In other words, it's a variety of the type of respiratory crud that tends to go around when kids go back to school, only this one tends to be particularly hard on asthmatics. But the people I know who had it said it was like a bad cold, with a lot of coughing

They typed the virus and it's not a common one here.

Enterovirus D68 (EV D68) is one specific type of enterovirus, first identified in 1962, but has been rarely reported in the US over the last 40 years.

You should let the CDC know that. Apparently they think it is.
CDC | TB | Treatment

Treatment for TB Disease

TB bacteria become active (multiplying in the body) if the immune system can't stop them from growing. When TB bacteria are active, this is called TB disease. TB disease will make a person sick. People with TB disease may spread the bacteria to people with whom they spend many hours.

TB disease can be treated by taking several drugs for 6 to 9 months. There are 10 drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating TB. Of the approved drugs, the first-line anti-TB agents that form the core of treatment regimens include:

isoniazid (INH)
rifampin (RIF)
ethambutol (EMB)
pyrazinamide (PZA)​

 

[PreachersWife2004]

treated ≠ cured. Just sayin'.

treated ≠ cured. Just sayin'.

How about cured = cured.
Tuberculosis Treatment

Treatment

With appropriate antibiotic treatment, TB can be cured in most people. Successful treatment of TB depends on close cooperation between patients and healthcare providers. Treatment usually involves taking several antibiotic drugs for at least 6 months and sometimes for as long as 12 months.​

Not a mystery virus. Uncommon, but not unheard of. And not an epidemic (153 verified cases).

[TLK Valentine]

This is a virus rarely seen in American children. And now it's infecting whole classrooms and schools. Of course, it's just a coincidence, when the feds are secretly shipping illegal kids all over the country.

All it takes is one pair of anti-vaccination nuts to put their child in school, and we start seeing all sorts of plagues...

Or am I the only one who thinks that the U.S. has a lot more dots on it than it should?

Each dot on the map represents at least one case of a vaccine-preventable disease, with larger dots representing hundreds or even thousands of cases. Cases of the measles are represented by red dots, the mumps by brown dots, rubella by blue, polio by gold, whooping cough by bright green and everything else by bright yellow.

I can see how "illegal immigrants" or "illegal aliens" could be too much for our friends on the right to remember -- a whole second word, and one which affirms their status as human beings...

 

[TLK Valentine]

We need to stop referring to human beings as "illegal".

You've got to remember that the sort of people who refer to them as "illegals" tend to deal better with abstract concepts than actual human beings in general...
